• Length: 8’0″ (2.44m) / Lure: 90-220g / Ideal lure range: 120-200g / Braid: PE8~12 • Recommended reel size: SW14000~20000 • Target species: tuna, GT, and other coastal and pelagic species weighing between 30-100kg+
The ultimate popping rod for tackling trophy GTs and tuna weighing up to 100 kg.
The TOBIZO TC80-180 DBL was specially developed to fully harness the potential of large, high-resistance poppers designed to target the most powerful fish in the tropical big game scene: trophy GTs and tuna weighing up to 100 kg. This rod combines exceptional ability to generate explosive surface pops with remarkable control precision. Every movement is transmitted instantly to the lure: move the rod by 20 cm, and the popper moves forward by 20 cm; move it by one metre, and the lure follows exactly the same trajectory. This highly direct responsiveness makes it easy to alternate between aggressive retrieves and subtle manipulations, allowing you to exploit the full potential of the largest poppers. Impressive casting distance for an 8’0” During the cast, DBL Power Booster technology reveals its full effectiveness. The blank stores a considerable amount of energy as it compresses, then releases it with remarkable power. The result: surprising casting distances for an 8’0” rod, even with heavy, high-resistance poppers. This capability allows you to cover more water while maintaining optimal lure control. Exceptional power reserve during the fight Once the fight begins, the extremely powerful butt section comes into play. It generates significant leverage with reduced effort, making it easier to control powerful fish in difficult environments: reefs, coral heads, or snag-filled areas. The TC80-180 DBL therefore allows you to: – exert constant pressure on the fish – reduce angler fatigue – speed up the decisive stages of the fight – secure catches of trophy fish It embodies the ideal balance between casting distance, retrieve precision, and fighting power — the hallmark of a true big game popping rod. DBL Power Booster A blank technology designed to defeat monsters. DBL Power Booster technology represents the culmination of ZENAQ’s expertise in designing multi-layer carbon blanks and patented high-pressure molding. This structure provides: – exceptional lifting power – direct power transmission – constant pressure on record fish – a significant reduction in angler fatigue – greater versatility across the lure range By combining recovery power with controlled flexibility, the blank improves both casting performance and fighting efficiency. DBL Power Booster is the result of ZENAQ’s ongoing research to meet the extreme demands of tropical Big Game.
